The viewer is even faster as V2.4. The privacy settings are confusing, above the three options is a checkmark and I have no idea what it does. Seems redundant to me. Please explain. As with all webcontent there is a few sec's delay between click and open for that it's slower as before. Is there a trick to make it faster? The profile looks nice but it's big and bulky. (like Search) I would like to see it much smaller with less whitespace so that opening more profiles is a real option. Reintroduce tabs. I would like to see it open (like search) in a size without scrollbars. Swapping between profile and sidebar is confusing. Often one click isn't enough and two clicks are needed, but that behaviour is quite unpredictable. I'm not a fan of the profiles yet, but I love what has happened under the hood of the machine. It's faster as the shadow of a click.

The settings are very important to run SL in a wireless LAN. One thing not to do, add 80 and 443. On my router any opening of ports makes them exclusive to one computer. I would like to see what to set inbound and outbound. In such a way anyone with a router can figure out what to open. Without opening of ports on my router SL becomes very laggy.

Hi Amanda, Glad to see improvements are coming our way. What I read, things will be basically the same, just a bit different. Voting in Jira was silly so that it goes is no problem for me however. When closing a Jira there must be a good foundation to do so and re-opening a Jira should not be punishable, it should be welcomed. People using Jira are the most motivated in improving our world and the service you provide. Some have abandoned Jira giving us less eyes to look and improve. Some very valid points and improvements are missed now due to past actions, or lack of it. Please re-open Jira again for all. Improving communications is always good. Current participation of Linden Lab on the Forum is at an all time low. Very understandable since it appears there are no recourses to pick up the points made. It is important to tell us why attention has to go somewhere else, repeat the message if needed so we can change our plans and focus. It is time well invested. Support has been down. It has been announced but that message should have been repeated. It would have prevented much frustration for the people that did not know. I am glad to have noticed Support is crawling back on it's feet. I advise to set one standard for all Support fields including in-world, with focus on all residents less then half a year old. Do not fear to discuss. If have seen Dakota's participation and it was very refreshing setting new standards for the merchants and their listings. Many compliments for Dakota and I hope to see more of that. Though I participate on the GD I would like to see it removed from the Dashboard. It enhances the feeling that the Forum is a snakepit (and it is.. a bit..) and scares off first time users that want to ask valid questions. Second Life is an Adult community. I want to see more promotional activities pulling in new residents. Selling it as a Disney world is not a good idea since it is not. Do not fear to represent an Adult community since most Internet communities are. Give attention to privacy issues and make Second Life a safe playground again soon. For the time being it is very important to warn new residents in very clear language (do not link your avatar with RL) so to prevent legal action against Linden Lab (as the host). If needed change the TOS preventing the connection between RL and SL profiles. Moderation will remain an issue for many. It can help to replace a posting with a boilerplate containing the motivation. Perhaps make one forum where forum-moderation is allowed to be discussed, Linden Lab participates and explains the standards. That would help many confused residents and perhaps raise the standards towards an acceptable level. The forum is one of the front-ends of Second Live. Recognize that position and that people decide to enter Second Life based on the perception of the forums. The community will help if the standards are clear, well maintained and applied. I love Torley but I'd love to see more of the Other Linden Lab Dwellers. Specially the nerds and coders. If Linden Lab does good, so will we. Tell us what Linden Lab is doing. Tell us what direction you choose and that the world we have created is safe with Linden Lab for now and the future. Thank you

They are SL customers. Not only that. We are the creators of Second Life. We are for the biggest part responsible for the WOW factor of Second Life.

For once I don't care about the graphs. I know SL is frozen and on the verge of declining. I don't need the graphs for that, including the missing ones. The question is, what are you going to do to get SL back?

Welcome Rodvik! Great seeing you here for the first time! You are the caretaker, not of a company, not of a game, you are the caretaker of the world we created. We, the residents, with a little help from Linden Lab that gives us the tools. We need a lot of things to make it work better. Our world needs to be Predictable. So sudden changes in world or in fees. No crashes, no downtime. Promote Second Life. Bring new residents and help us bring new residents, we desperately need them. Keep the new residents. Work on Retention. Make it easy to learn, make it easy to recover from bugs and crashes. Give them the best support available. Talk to them. Follow the metrics every day. Promote creativity within Linden Lab and give them room to play, the rewards will be amazing. If you help making this possible, the profit will follow and we will all dance the Linden dance. In a year Linden Lab will be the only provider of virtual goods. Keep your alt, learn every day about our world. The fun, the complexity, the community. Listen to us, but know when to ignore us.

Locate the folder where your configuration is stored, In W7 it's here: C:\Users\YOU\AppData\Roaming\SecondLife\cory_trafalgar Rename it to C:\Users\YOU\AppData\Roaming\SecondLife\cory_trafalgar_old Then start on these hints till you are back the prity avatar you are: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Why_do_I_look_like_a_particle_cloud

I'm really worried where this viewer is heading to. It is the best viewer, it will be the ultra topper better best viewer.

You didn't have to undress to put 38 boxes on your hand... Will this whatshallwecallit also go for HUDS? I'ts cool to clutter up the screen.

Install VLC Media player from http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ Visit http://www.shoutcast.com/settings/ and be sure to select Default Media Player, click Save Settings. Goto the home page and try some streams, they should start playing in VLC. If you like a stream open in VLC Extra=>Media information. In General it shows: Location, something like http://64.62.194.11:8030 You have now proven that the stream works. Now open Second Lifen en copy/paste the URL into the proper box in Land Properties. Click the ">" top right and you have a music stream on your parcel! Very often URL's stop working after some time, even URL's of the Big Ones (Like SkyRadio). If that happens just find a new stream using shoutcast or Icecast ( http://dir.xiph.org/index.php ). Have fun!

Other than (LSL-)scripted radars which put load on the simulator by constant polling, a client side radar shouldn't cause much lag, as it merely displays data the Viewer already has: The region sends it anyway, for the minimap etc. Indeed. What many don't notice is that Viewer 2 has a good inbuild radar. The sidebar displays who is near, and you can zoom in towards the individual resident. The minimap that also gives the resident name when you hover the mouse over it. @Torley. Is the above an idea for a vidtut?

Rodvic Linden is his name? Looks like an impressive Rèsumé indeed. I knew there was a chance someone would be better as I am. I'm glad it's Rodvic. Why can't he start earlier? I'm sure there are some chores for him to do, like make his own introduction in the blogs so we can welcome him. Can't wait for next year, with all that has been teamed up so far I'm sure it will be amazing.

If you set Secondlife.exe as Trusted (as Windows has asked you) all ports and protocols will communicate with Secondlife.exe. It won't show you that as a seperate firewall settings since it's a program setting. (SL voice does) Or you can Trust a port or a range of ports independent of the program. This is actually a bad idea and should be avoided since the ports can be used by other programs too. In advanced mode add a new rule. Do not select Program, do not select Custom, but select Port. Follow the wizzard from there. Now you are allowed to enter a range of ports like UDP 12000-17000. (at least in W7) the same error appears when i try to add the ports with the "/". any workaround? The "/" means that one of both ports can be opened, you either open 80 or 443. The character "/" won't work. You choose the port to be opened..

As an advisor you get triple pay. Since you hold crucial info, take it slow. Don't be a stranger, post the name of your alt's

Hilarious hehe. I better unsubscribe from this thread. The comments are so funny

I do not oppose this campaign. Simple reason, if others are willing to help LL into black numbers, they pay for my game. It's off-world so there is no nagging while I'm in world. As a poor merchant I would love to go and try, but, only CC are accepted, no L$, no PayPal and the price... well... kinda out of my leage, even while being a discount. Next to that, I do not trust external parties with my RL info (that is why I do not participate in events that require a subscription on an external website). Still hoping someone resolves, in a positive way, the Jira for advertising Adult items. As a seller of an Adult item I get a fraction of the impressions compared with normal items. And like others have stated, it would be nice if old issues are resolved too...Now this beta has started I expect the Merchant Team to look at the Jira's again. They must cos it's kinda crippled at the mo.

First snow out here. So, to stay in theme, my castle is now also covered with snow. Lucky I have a nice fireplace to keep me warm, and many good friends so I won't get cold. If you go from Clementia South East, it's the only castle with snow on top.

My GF is soo happy. She corrected her name in ten seconds and is smiling ever since. Great! SL is getting better every day!

Teens that wish to access Mature content just have to read this blog posting... http://blogs.secondlife.com/community/features/blog/2010/11/16/help-us-test-the-sl-web-viewer-beta

My name is ??? (???) All my friends are named ??? (???) Summinn not right, what ya think Lab Rat Jack ? Relog fixored moi..

Hm. Observation. Playing the vid, and I could not enter. Appears downloading the vid eats away bandwith telling the app not to run cos bandwith is too low. I think. Without the vid download I can enter.

Firefox on W7, Netherlands. Flashblock did it's job. An obscure Play button right below had to be clicked. Workes within it's limitations good. Graphics are poor quality but suffcient. I can not receive teleport requests. IM works. All sence of direction is missing without maps, or even a basic NESW thingy. Can't find people, no green dots to poke. Animations work. Running SL and the web client works, a bit, but my network could handle the traffic and the webclient closes with an informative message. The message dissapears to quick. Buying is impossible. Only the mini profiles are shown. Big choice of avatars and destinations, even mainland can be visited. Re-entering gives a new avatar with a new name, pity since I did use the same e-mail address. The button Full Access is WRONG. It closes the session while it should have opened a new browser tab. The red color should have been a hint... Since the normal client can poke deeper into your computer as the webclient I hope this won't become a griefer tool. Good taster for new residents. WTG!
